| - My review of Binion's is strictly for the casino area.
AMAZING!
My fiance and I had stayed across the street at the GN, but was disappointed with the $10 minimums at each table they had. We really wanted to play table games, but didn't want to fork out that much on the front end (at first). We decided to walk across the street to Binion's and check out this old beast.
The lurking smell of cigars and cigarettes, along with whiskey filled breaths made this casino feel like the real deal; the whole reason I chose to stay on the old strip. A little bit of trash, with a little bit (or hardly any) class.
Before setting foot at the tables, I really needed to pass the fluids accumulating from hours worth of binge drinking. When asking a random employee where the restroom was located, I was pointed in the general direction, PLUS they walked me to the location! WOW! This was not the only time that a staff member did this. Another time we were trying to find the elevator to the steakhouse (which we did not eat at in the long run) and the employee walked us all the way through the casino to the elevator. I was thoroughly surprised at this random act of kindness and help.
Tables here are cheap. Flat out. I played $5 blackjack, roulette, and let it ride. Being fairly new to let it ride, the dealer proceeded to assist with my first few hands, advising me on my next moves (which in this case made sense since I was playing the house and NOT the dealer). I was up on let it ride. Went and sat at a blackjack table and was UP AGAIN. Decided it was time to move to roulette. Was UP AGAIN! I stayed in this casino for nearly 4 hours spending my hard earned money on pure debauchery. Drink service was prompt at the roulette table, but not so much at blackjack and let it ride.
To say the least, I left pretty intoxicated, up in money, and had the best night of my whole vacation at this little joint.
